Weathered Glass vs Kingston
Where Weathered Glass belongs to Dulux's range, Kingston is a Sherwin-Williams color. Both sit in the green-grey family, which is useful context if you're narrowing within a single hue direction. Kingston (LRV 70) reflects noticeably more light than Weathered Glass (LRV 66), a difference of 4 points that becomes especially apparent in rooms with limited natural light. Weathered Glass runs neutral while Kingston is decidedly cool, which means they'll respond very differently to warm vs cool light sources. The ΔE 3.1 gap is real but not dramatic — close enough to use together, distinct enough to matter as a choice.

Weathered Glass vs Kingston in Real Spaces
2 real rooms side by side. Weathered Glass and Kingston are close enough that the difference can be hard to judge from a chip alone — these photos show how each reads at scale, across different spaces and lighting conditions.
Living Room
In a living room, color works across both daylight and evening light — the same wall can read very differently at noon and at 8pm. The brightness difference is modest but present — Kingston gives the walls a little more lift.
Bedroom
The context that matters most in a bedroom is how a color reads under a bedside lamp at night, not under noon daylight. Kingston reads slightly lighter here — a subtle but real difference in how open the space feels.

Digital color is approximate. These simulations are generated from the manufacturer's hex values and overlaid on grayscale room photos — your screen's calibration, brightness, and viewing angle all affect how they render. Before committing to either color, test physical samples in your own space under the light you actually live with.
